It's soon going to be that time of the year again when fans of Bigg Boss will be glued to their TV screens every single night for a period of over 100 days. Yep! The twelfth season of the mother of all reality shows on Indian television will kickstart from September 16, 2018. Salman Khan returns as the host for the ninth consecutive time this year. But that's not the only exciting part as we all are waiting to see the lineup of the contestants this season.

This time the theme is 'vichitra jodis (weird pairs)', which means the contestants will set foot inside the Bigg Boss 12 house in twos. There are rumours that in total 21 contestants will be locked inside the house by Salman out of which six pairs (12 contestants) will consist of commoners. In addition to that, there are five celebrities and six more commoners that will enter as singles and will be paired with each other in the first week. The remaining one will be the captain of the house during the initial week.

Like every year there are quite a few names that are doing the rounds as probable contestants. Of course, the makers will make it official only on the day of the premiere. But while you wait for a couple of weeks to know the final contestants, we already have some dope as far as the wild cards of this season are concerned.

Word has it that former MTV Splitsvilla contestant Divya Agarwal is one of the celebrity contestants of Bigg Boss 12. Well, she is indeed entering the house, but not on the first day. A source has EXCLUSIVELY revealed to LatestLY that Divya will set foot inside the glass walled house as one of the wild card contestants.

"Every year the casting team of Bigg Boss selects some celebrities as wild cards way before the show goes on air. This year Divya is in this list. So yes, she is indeed onboard, but as a wild card contestant for now," the source reveals.

The source further adds that the casting team is still taking final call on the lineup of contestants this year, so there might be a change of plan as far as Divya's participation goes. "They are still working on the final list of contestants as some of them are yet to sign their Non Disclosure Agreements. Divya is one of the first to sign the dotted line, but the makers have decided to keep her as a wild card for now. Things, however, can change as the days pass," the source further adds.

If everything does fall in place then Divya will enter the Bigg Boss house for the second time. She went to the house last year and dumped her boyfriend and Splitsvilla co-contestant, Priyank Sharma on national television. Priyank was one of the contestants on Bigg Boss 11 and her closeness to one of his co-contestants Benafsha Soonwalla didn't go down well with Divya, who entered the house only to break-up with Priyank.

Will she be able to cause the same stir inside the house this year as a contestant? Well, all we can do is just wait and watch. Meanwhile, Divya is currently shooting for an international song with famous choreographer and songwriter Bobby Newberry, who has made Eminem, Pussycat Dolls among other famous artists in the West dance to his steps. The name of the new song is Chance and it will feature Divya in a hot avatar. It will be shot in Mumbai in the next couple of days. Stay tuned to LatestLY for more such scoops and updates on Bigg Boss 12.
